I agree with Professor Kirby about the annual targets. I was talking specifically about five year budgets in connection with reporting to the Dáil and it being able to make value judgments on what is happening. We are two days away from six and half years from 2020. Where does Professor Kirby think we will be in 2020 if we keep going at the current rate? What are the three big things for which we as Members of the Dáil should push immediately? I recognise that the timeframe is very short. I share Professor Kirby's concerns about the overall analysis of where we are going and the difficulties we face. What are the three things we need to do within the next six to 12 months?
